Time Saver Workout

The biggest excuse for not keeping your New Years Resolution is TIME. It’s also the biggest excuse EVER! No one has time to workout… they make time. So keep your New Years Resolution with this great circuit training routine. You can use it as your main workout, or just on those days when you have to get in and out of the gym quickly.

Bent Over Row with Tricep Kickbacks – In split stance, bend over to 45 degrees, abs in and back flat. Bend elbows and bring weights towards the rib cage, then straighten elbows, squeezing the triceps. Repeat for 1 minute.

Plie Squat with Tricep Extension– In wide stance, with toes out, lower into a plie squat (keeping knees behind toes), while bending arm to 90 degrees, weight directly behind the head. Push through the heels to standing, while straightening the arm (but don’t lock elbow!) Repeat for 12 reps and then switch arms.

Walking Lunge with Overhead Press – Hold weights over the shoulders and step forward with the right foot into a lunge. As you bring the left foot forward, press the weights overhead. Lower the weights and lunge with the left foot with an overhead press. Repeat for 1 minute.

Making it easier: Perform only one circuit, or do each exercise for 30 seconds instead of 1 minute

Making it harder: Perform three circuits and/or use heavier weights (source).

Notice that this exercise routine is working multiple muscle groups at once. If you don’t like these exercises then you can come up with your own routine. You simply chose your favorite exercise for every major muscle group in your body. Since your legs burn the most amount of calories; chose at least 2-3 exercises that incorporate your legs. For max calorie burning add more then one exercise that works your upper and lower body simoultaneously.
